This subject merits a separate thread and what better to start the ball rolling than with this serial offender:-


http://i1318.photobucket.com/albums/t643/savedelhi/B1Edited_zpse6wl44fl.jpg


This is a novel approach but is none the less illegal as it contravenes one or more of the following items of legislation:-


Section 224(3) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

Section 132(1) of the Highways Act 1980

Sections 43-47 of the Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003


The adverts are attached with tamper-proof screws to the frame of the bike which is in turn attached with a VERY heavy chain.


Apart from being illegal, these bikes deny cyclists the opportunity to secure their bikes at places such as railway stations, shopping area etc.


Any member of the public is fully entitled to deface or remove these adverts after reporting them to Southwark Council.


Happy hunting.

A useful thread GG as there is quite a lot of fly posting going on. It seems to go in waves - until Southwark stops it by taking action against the perps.


I think this Jane Jefferson one is hilarious because their slogan is "The only way is ethics".


How ethical is it to locate illegal adverts around all of South London. It is breaking the law and it blocks secure parking for bikes.

Cora,

This is a large operation with bikes parked outside stations all the way fro Balham to Blackheath! It might look like a nice mumsy advert but behind it is a very determined large scale enterprise.

I care. Yes, there's worse things in the world to worry about but if people are concerned about these adverts (which shouldn't be there) then fair play to them for doing something and taken a small burden off the council. Clearing them up, especially the estate agent boards, is good for the area.


ps not sure about the call to deface the adverts though, just remove them,

Southwark council says it receives around 100 complaints about graffiti every month. On its website it also advises that removing graffiti costs the UK over ?1 billion a year.


That's Council money that could have been spent on better services for the community.


Out of interest, the council will pay up to ?1,000 for info about repeat offenders.

Checked it. Only one board is allowed . It has five. Here is the appropriate section from the regs.


1. The regulations for estate agent boards........................................


Property owners or their agents have a right to display ?for sale? and ?to let? boards. The restrictions that apply to such boards are:


Not more than one advertisement, consisting of a single board or two joined boards, is permitted; and where more than one advertisement is displayed, the first to be displayed shall be taken to be the one permitted.

Not nice

Are you sure you want to incite people to deface property that does not belong to them Green Goose? I know an entertainment company that does this - and a new bike shop - and I think it's innovative and inoffensive. Plus I'm cyclist and even I don't care. What about Foxtons minis? How do you feel about them? They drive me nuts but I'm not going to trash them.

We have seen these bikes there 1 outside church east dulwich grove.

More Melbourne grove area,station area.

Glad you picked up on issue.

Ask James barber he can advise on here.

Defacing is wrong though.


Reporting if given advice is not within council remit for advertising.

Ok,was not clear having re read just saying support you raising issue bikes advert boards.


Having seen many around ed taking up valued bike locking stations.

Glad you raised issue.

Was suggesting you ask James barber local councillor often posts advice support on this forum and often knows ways to help with issues in local area.

Well spotted! There is a Mr D. O'Donnell who is spouse of Mrs J. O'Donnell who runs the business.

Sorry Green Goose, I don't find it at all offensive. I think this is really innovative advertising - caught my attention, in a very positive way. Why are you on such a personal vendetta against this woman trying to start her own business - I think she should be applauded. She's employing staff and contributing to the local economy. I just wish I could afford a cleaner myself!

Publically naming her is really inappropriate.

    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
